Work Welsh 2021 Award: Entry Level Learner who makes the Best Use of Welsh for Work purposes

WINNER: Matt Nash, Work Welsh Further Education Scheme Learner (Grŵp Llandrillo-Menai)

Matt is very keen to use Welsh in his everyday life as well as for work purposes. He has made great progress and can have a substantial and challenging conversation in Welsh by now. He took a prominent role in a social evening ‘Hwyl yr Ŵyl’ (Season’s Fun) by singing a challenging carol in Welsh – everyone agreed that this was the highlight of the night. Matt’s readiness to perform in Welsh to a large audience on Zoom is an inspiration to colleagues, and he deserves high praise for embracing opportunities to use Welsh in his professional life.

High Praise: Gavin Price, Work Welsh Further Education Scheme Learner (Cardiff and Vale College)

Gavin is currently in his second year of learning Welsh through the Work Welsh Scheme. He has made incredible progress, and takes advantage of every opportunity to use Welsh with colleagues.
